Voice to Text for Apple Calendar
Your calendar should capture context, not just time blocks. With Blurt, you speak your event details instead of typing them. Hold a button, say your event title, meeting agenda, or location notes, release. Text appears in any Apple Calendar field instantly. Perfect for scheduling on the go, adding meeting context, or capturing detailed location instructions. Simple voice-to-text that works wherever you type in Apple Calendar.
The Typing Problem
Your event titles are too vague to be useful
You create events called 'Meeting' or 'Call' because typing a descriptive title takes too long. Three weeks later, you're staring at your calendar trying to remember what 'Review session' was actually about. Your calendar is supposed to help you prepare for what's coming and remember what happened. Instead, it's a grid of cryptic abbreviations that mean nothing without context.
Meeting agendas never get written because typing them is tedious
You could explain your meeting goals in 20 seconds. But opening the event, clicking into the notes field, and typing out discussion topics takes 5 minutes you don't have. So you skip it. Attendees arrive unprepared, meetings run long, and you waste the first 10 minutes getting everyone on the same page when a simple agenda would have solved it.
Location details get lost in bare address fields
The meeting is at a building with three entrances, tricky parking, and a security check-in process. You know all this. But typing out directions feels like too much work for a calendar event. So you enter just the street address. Guests call you confused and late, asking which door to use while you're already in the meeting room waiting.
Notes from meetings vanish because you don't capture them
The meeting ends with clear next steps and decisions. You think you'll remember. You never do. A week later you're searching emails and messages trying to reconstruct what was agreed. Your calendar event sits there with no record of outcomes, just a time slot that tells you nothing about what happened inside it.
Scheduling between tasks means losing your flow
You're deep in work when you realize you need to schedule tomorrow's prep time. Opening Calendar, typing a title, adding notes, setting the time — it's a 3-minute interruption that breaks your concentration. So you tell yourself you'll do it later. Later becomes never, and the prep time never gets blocked.

Real Scenarios
Creating descriptive event titles while multitasking
You need to block time for a project but you're in the middle of something else. Click into the title field, hold your hotkey, and speak: 'Prepare quarterly investor update deck with updated metrics and team growth section.' A title that actually tells you what to do, created in 5 seconds without breaking your focus.
Dictating meeting agendas between calls
You have 2 minutes before your next meeting starts. Tomorrow's team sync needs an agenda. Hold and speak: 'Agenda: Review sprint progress, discuss blocker on API integration, align on launch timeline, assign owners for open items. Please review the project board before the meeting.' Full context for attendees, created while grabbing coffee.
Adding detailed location instructions for guests
Client meeting at your office. Hold your hotkey and dictate: 'Enter through the main lobby on Oak Street. Check in at the security desk for a visitor badge. Take the elevator to floor 8 and ask for the Maple conference room. Street parking available on Oak and Pine, or use the garage on 5th with validation at reception.' No confused phone calls during your meeting.
Capturing meeting notes immediately after
The meeting just ended with important decisions. Edit the event and speak: 'Outcomes: Decided to push launch to March 15. Product team owns revised timeline by Friday. Marketing to update announcement copy. Legal reviewing new terms. Follow-up scheduled for next Tuesday.' Your calendar becomes a searchable decision log.
Adding context to recurring one-on-ones
Your weekly check-in needs specific discussion points. Hold and speak: 'Topics: Career growth conversation follow-up, feedback on the design proposal, discuss conference speaking opportunity, review Q1 goals progress.' Your direct report knows what to prepare, and you have a record of what you planned to cover.
Scheduling personal events with relevant details
Dentist appointment next week. Instead of just 'Dentist', hold and speak: 'Annual dental cleaning and checkup at Dr. Martinez. Bring insurance card and arrive 10 minutes early for paperwork. Ask about night guard for teeth grinding.' Future you will appreciate past you's thoroughness.
Creating event invitations with preparation instructions
Planning a workshop for your team. Speak the details: 'Q1 Planning Workshop. Please bring your laptop and have the strategic priorities document open. We will spend the first hour on retrospective and the second on forward planning. Lunch provided, no need to bring anything else.' Everyone arrives prepared.
